Original program selector for Sauter oven 11 positions 8051207

The original program selector 8051207 (reference number 821700) is the official replacement part for restoring the selection functions in Sauter ovens. The switch is manufactured by GOTTAK Spain – the official switch manufacturer for Sauter oven series – and offers 11 full operating modes in addition to an off mode. Perfect fit to the oven eliminates the need for “adaptation work” that characterizes non-original parts.

When the selector knob turns but the oven does not respond to the mode you selected – the switch is the cause in 85% of cases. The switch is the component responsible for transmitting the command from the knob to the electrical circuit, and its wear occurs gradually: first, individual modes stop working, then the selection becomes unstable, and finally the knob “slips” without any response.

Now click the “Check Model Compatibility” button at the top of the page before ordering – the system will confirm in seconds that the part is suitable for your oven.

What happens when the program selector breaks down?

A damaged program selector prevents proper selection of the baking mode – grill, turbo, top-bottom heating and other programs become inaccessible. From the experience of our technicians, switch wear is one of the most common faults in baking ovens after 5-7 years of use. The first sign is usually one mode that stops working – and from there the problem spreads to the other modes if it is not addressed in time.

Why only an original part? The original GOTTAK switch comes with precise electrical contacts that match the original design of the oven. Non-original parts often come with offset contacts or different handle stiffness – which causes inaccuracy in mode selection and accelerated wear.

Tip for identifying the correct switch: The E-Nr sticker for Sauter ovens is located on the inner door frame or on the back of the appliance. Check that the part number stamped on your old switch is 8051207 or 821700 – this identification ensures that it is the same part.

What is the difference between 11 modes and 12 modes?

11-position selector (11+0) is suitable for built-in & Freestanding Ovens with fewer baking programs – usually models with medium to high performance levels. Models with 12 positions are usually built-in & Freestanding Ovens with an additional double grill program. Important: Do not replace an 11-position selector with a 12-position selector even if the appearance is the same – the off position is different and can cause the oven to remain active.

In our experience, the most common mistake when purchasing this part is ordering 12 positions instead of 11 – so we recommend counting the positions of the old switch before ordering.

🔧 How do you replace a program selector in an oven?

⚠️ Replacing the program selector requires opening the oven's electrical control panel and disconnecting/reconnecting several electrical wires. Incorrect connection can cause a more serious malfunction, permanent damage to the control panel, or a safety hazard. It is recommended to call a qualified technician from the official service for replacement. Unprofessional installation may void the appliance warranty.

💡 Tip from the experts

From our technicians' experience – after replacing the switch, check each of the 11 positions individually before finalizing the board purchase. In 15% of the cases we encountered, either the upper heating element or the lower heating element was in advanced stages of wear – and repairing both at the same time saves an additional service visit and hundreds of shekels.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the switch is the cause of the problem and not the electronic board?

If the selector knob turns freely but some of the positions do not turn on the oven – the switch is the cause in 90% of cases. If the situation persists even after replacing the switch, check the thermostat. A faulty electronic board usually causes the oven to not turn on at all – not to partial positions.

Is it possible to replace only some of the contacts in an old switch?

No. A program selector is a sealed unit that cannot be disassembled and partially repaired. Attempting to open and repair an old selector causes permanent mechanical deformation. A complete replacement of the selector is the only correct solution – and also the cheaper one in the long run.

Does the switch come with the selection handle?

No. The switch is the internal component – ​​the external rotary handle is a separate part. The handle usually does not break, and the switch is replaced without touching the handle. If the handle is also broken – it must be purchased separately according to your model number.
